Tata Kite (Glade) with production headlight clusters snapped up close – Spied

Posted on: Apr 27, 2015 - 4:38pm IST

Kite and Kite sedan are the next big ticket launches for Tata.

An almost production-ready prototype of the Tata Kite (codename) hatchback was snapped on test by Motorbeam reader, Mr. Durga Prasad, in Maharahstra. The test mule seen here provides the final look of the ‘bug-shaped’ headlight clusters that will adorn the front fascia of Tata’s i10 rival.

Under the hood of the Kite hatchback will be a 1.2-liter petrol engine or a 1.05 liter three-cylinder diesel engine. These engines will be paired to manual and automated manual transmissions (AMT), though reports are suggestive of an e-clutch system as well.

A 1.2-liter petrol and a 1.05-liter diesel would be the engines of choice for the Kite.

While Tata Motors have made no announcement, media reports claim that the hatchback could be named ‘Glade’.

interesting to see Tata is completed shud the X-mas tree rear lights in all their models. As well, I could see some design improvements, the bonnet line is running along with the head lights and wide rear doors. Well done Tata for the next hit in Indian market…:)
